THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The propaganda of the BJP leaders that they are bearing 85% of the travel expenses of the migrant labourers is false, said Minister Kadakampally Surendran. The centre has not done anything except permitting a train. The minister sarcastically said they may be saying about the price of the train.

Meantime, the state government is not footing the expenses of the migrant workers, he said. They should not be degraded. They have money in their hands. The minister asked centre to force pressure on states like West Bengal and Assam who are not ready to receive the migrants.
